Hello,

We have a new clean installation of postgresql (Linux Server) and Eclipse 3.1.1 with MyEclipse 4.0.1 (Linux and MacOS X clients). We are alwys failing trying to connect to the db with the MyEclipse Database Browser.

What we did:
– Adding a new Database Profile
– then tried both:
– using the standard PostgreSQL driver
– creating a new Driver with the JDBC3 driver from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
– setting the connection string to jdbc:postgresql:pc-wittbrodt5:5432/csepd
– enter user name and password

When I use now this connections to connect I get following error message for the standard driver:
Error while trying to login to database:
org.postgresql.Driver

And with the self created driver profile I get no message. Nothing is happening.
When I look afterwards into the profile details, everything is set back to the default values!
This happens on both clients, Mac and Linux!

The only additional installed plugin is the Subversion plugin from tigris.

Maybe somebody can help us! Many thanks in advance
Regards,
Andreas Scheucher

Andreas,

It looks like you haven’t setup the driver correctly. Please note that you must configure your Driver before attempting to create a new Database Profile.

The process is explained in good detail here: http://myeclipseide.com/enterpriseworkbench/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.genuitec.eclipse.sqlexplorer.doc/doc/quickstarts/dbexplorer/index.html . See Section 4 for how to create a new Driver OR configure our PostgreSQL driver template; after you set up your driver successfully, proceed to create a new Profile which points to that driver. The screenshots are a bit old, but similar enough for you to get the picture.

Please let us know if you still have issues,
Best,
Brian.

hi,

Thanks for your fast answer! I managed to get the connection up an running.
Although I don’t understand, why it is not working with the new generated driver using the same jdbc driver as the standard PostgreSQL driver.

Regards,
Andreas

Andreas,

Glad you got it working – though why it isn’t working for a new driver is odd. Do you see a blue checkmark against that driver in the Preference page?
Also, perhaps you should try re-creating a profile that uses that driver.

Best,
Brian.
